to bring people inside with the goal of exiting residents to permanent housing quickly as
described in Grantee's application for Shelter Program funds.
A. Program Description
1. Overview
a. Shelter program will serve all household types.
b. Shelter program will add 10 beds.
c. Shelter program will operate as continuous stay.
Facility ype
a. Grant County will subgrant to HopeSource to operate a permanent emergency
shelter site.

3. Racial Equity
a. Grant County, HopeSource, and the City of Moses Lake will implement
strategies to prevent racial inequities in who is served and program outcomes.
HopeSource recognizes that race and ethnicity can significantly limit the
opportunities of program participants, acknowledges the unequal impact of
these factors, and works to help program participants in overcoming systemic
racism through increased access to housing, education, asset building, income,
employment, and high-quality food.
Attachment A
HopeSource will continue to work with the Washington State Community
Action Partnership and the National Community Action Partnership in its
education, training, and research into Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
and adopt the learning from that work in all its programs.
HopeSource expects that employees, vendors, and subcontractors are sensitive
to the culture, race and ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation, and
the linguistic diversity within the populations served and will demonstrate
behaviors and attitudes that enable them to work cross -culturally.
HopeSource has invited Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consultants
from The ReadySet to conduct a community forum and listening session that
incorporates ally skills touchpoints, and will follow up with community
groups to better understand barriers and biases of organizations and
individuals.
HopeSource will build capacity around DEI so that they continue to model
diversity, equity, and inclusion for external stakeholders and communities and
provide an equitable and inclusive environment for staff and partners.
HopeSource will work with local leaders to move the following initiatives
forward: conduct community forum and listening session incorporating ally
skills touchpoints; ally skills workshops for HopeSource staff; and a more
detailed ally skills workshop for the community. Ally skills workshop
learning outcomes include telling the difference between allyship and being an
accomplice; knowing how to intervene in workplace marginalization;
empowered to speak up and respond when inequality occurs; understanding
how to address and respond to workplace harm; exhibiting self -reflection as
an ally.
4. Housing Focused Services
a. HopeSource will provide housing case management to residents that is driven
by the needs of the resident, is flexible, uses a strengths -based approach and is
focused on obtaining and maintaining housing.

workforce training, employment services and permanent supportive housing.
HopeSource case managers create housing stability plans, which can include
connections for housing, food, transportation, mental and physical health,
addiction counseling, legal advice, and employment and education coaching
and case management. Case managers work with clients to identify solutions
to other barriers to the achievement of employment, education, social
connections, and basic needs, whose absence keeps them from increasing their
long term and sustainable self-sufficiency. Case managers continue contact
Attachment A
with clients utilizing Progressive Engagement principles, supplying only the
amount of support required to move a household forward.
HopeSource case managers will provide services that include trauma -
informed case management; crisis counseling; planning and support for timely
resolution of a housing crisis; development of a housing and employment
stability plan; support in moving into permanent housing; reunification with
family or friends to secure or stabilize housing; and connecting clients to
mainstream and community-based services, financial counseling, energy
assistance, food, clothing, legal, and employment and education services.
5. Diversion and Problem Solving
a. HopeSource will utilize problem -solving conversations to divert households
from entering the shelter or utilizing crisis response system services longer
term.
HopeSource will use problem -solving conversations at the front end of
Coordinated Entry. These conversations can accomplish the following, based
on the needs of the household: connect the client to family and natural
supports; provide strengths -based case management; provide conflict
resolution/mediation; work with the client to search for housing/placement
options; provide landlord/tenant mediation; connect the client to mainstream
resources; refer the client to legal assistance.
6. Outreach
a. HopeSource will provide outreach to unsheltered individuals.
HopeSource will conduct regular visits to known locations where people
experiencing homelessness reside and gather. This will occur within and
around Moses Lake and neighboring jurisdictions in collaboration with the
Grant County Homeless Coalition, Moses Lake Food Bank, Grant Integrated
Services, Housing Authority, and local law enforcement.
7. Coordinated Entry Partnership
a. Accessing the Enhanced Shelter program will begin with entry into the cloud -
based Regional Coordinated Entry system managed by HopeSource. The
system can also be accessed by phone or in person, and information on how to
access Coordinated Entry is posted widely and visibly and shared with all
public service providers. Staff can also conduct in -office, field-based, or
phone intakes depending on the situation of the person contacting coordinated
entry. The coordinated entry assessment includes a VI-SPDAT designed for
each demographic to be served to determine the level of vulnerability and to
develop a stability plan best suited to the needs of each client.
Attachment A
8. Administration
Grantees will submit the following monthly deliverables with completeness,
timeliness, accuracy and consistency:
